Translated from Spanish

I believe that my creative process, can be compared in some aspects, to that of a scientific researcher, in the way that their investigation allows new discoveries to be included to their repertoire. The work I have been developing through my career, starting in the ‘80s, when I lived in Brazil, consists of this repertoire.

When I am prompted, like now, to think about my artistic production, I think that I would have to divide it in different lines of enquiry that intertwine or fuse together in the production of different works.

I think that I could divide it into different groupings. That which explores the possibilities of form in its temporal and spatial relationships, including in this group the strictly kinetic works, from the beginning of my career, such as the series Geometrías Inestables (Unstable Geometries), 2012, comprised by structures connected to each other by threads that deform with movement. Another one, which has light and movement as principal elements, included, for example in some works presented in the exhibition Apariencias (Appearances),in 2010. Finally, the group of works that explores the overlapping between the real and the virtual, inspiring reflection on what we really see. In this group of works I utilized optical resources with lenses and mirrors, to create virtual spaces, in works such as Instalación para viaje (Installation for Traveling), Colector de imágenes (Image Collector), and La fuente de la sala al lado (The Fountain at the Hall to the Side).

To conclude, I consider the possibility of altering conscience through the perception as leitmotif in my work. It is the conscience of perception itself what plays a role in the conception of many of my works. It is also through perception that the interaction with the viewer is possible. The viewer also discovers something similar to what caused the work to be.

I like to think that my works have the virtue of stimulating the senses, provoking reflection and of awakening in the observer a renewed way to see the world.
